some mascots have already been chosen but the sun still has two competition segments open - see link above for any parents who want to try their luck.
as the world cup is almost upon us all children should be appropriately accessorised.

And "children should be properly accessorised" - too funny!

Spike Alderton
Spike, a seven-year-old Manchester United fan, has Asperger's syndrome, which causes social interaction difficulties.
His mum Nik Alderton, 39, a coffee shop worker from Ulverston, Cumbria, wrote to The Sun saying: "Give my cheeky little chappie this once-in-a-lifetime chance."
When told of his prize, excited Spike said: "Will everyone be looking at me?"

We also have a player escort role to be won for the quarter-final on Friday July 2...
